Falmouth Branch Post Office

The Falmouth Branch Post Office at 16 Lichfield Boulevard occupies the southern edge of Stafford County, just across the Rappahannock River from the city of Fredericksburg. Its location makes it the natural acceptance stop for families in the Falmouth, Aquia, and southern Stafford neighborhoods who would rather not drive up Route 1 to the main Stafford office.

Like every USPS acceptance site, this branch processes the in-person paperwork that cannot be mailed: first passports for adults, applications for children, and replacements for lost, damaged, or long-expired books. An agent verifies your documents, watches you sign the DS-11, and seals the packet for the State Department. Passport photos are available here as well, which spares you a second errand.

Residents weighing their options can compare this branch with the main Stafford County office up Route 1 before booking, since appointment availability shifts week to week at both.

Call ahead and reserve a passport time; the Falmouth counter juggles regular postal traffic with scheduled acceptance visits, so drop-ins for passports are turned away. Have your DS-11 filled out but unsigned, your original citizenship document with a photocopy, a government-issued photo ID with its own copy, and two payments ready — one to the U.S. Department of State and one to the Postal Service. Children under 16 need both parents present. For a side-by-side look at every acceptance point in the area, read our Stafford passport overview.
